Well that would be because its just wrong ;)
£10 is correct, no matter how you actually say it.

When used for sterling, the pound sign is placed before the numerals (e.g., £12,000) and separated from the following digits by no space or only a thin space.

After Kaspersky got banned in the US and the company installed another Antivirus in its place to get around the ban without user knowledge I wouldn't trust them with any of my devices.

At least he didn't use the Euro sign, which I'm pleased to say doesn't seem to have found it's way onto my keyboard yet ;)

It is hard to explain but if you google it there are instances of it happening dating back years. My experiences in particular are dated so my experience in IT was lesser at the time I likely would find it easier to fix now but then it was a nightmare

Well I suppose a constant BSOD is a form of lockout. :)
